A TEENAGER DIED IN THE FIRING OUTSIDE TH Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA HAS ADD TWELVE MORE TESTING SITES FOR CORONA

Philadelphia is launching Twelve new corona virus testing sites, officials reported Thurs, to increase capability in undeserved communities and edge the community to restart the economy.

The increased testing sites based at established health centers would help bring the community forward to mitigating the strangle hold of the pandemic on the region, stated Tom Farley, Philadelphia's health commissioner.

The area-owned health clinics currently serve 8 different locations. Further 4 projects will begin over the next week at privately operated health centers.

Authorities have confirmed many more testing locations, including in Kensington, are in development.

The requirements for being checked at one of the latest clinics are the same as other established locations across the city: you must be over Fifty years of age and have corona signs or be a health professional or first res ponder.

Philly's rate of reported cases — which presumably constitute a portion of the overall real infections occurring in the population — was stable at around five hundred to six hundred fresh reports each day over the last week.

"The fact that we have a stable case count is an indication that we are making improvement," Farley said, cautioning that maintaining public distancing is "our strongest weapon now"

FOUR YEAR OLD GIRL LOST HER LIFE IN A FATAL FIRING

Investigators are interrogating after gunshots took a four-year-old girl's life Tues morning in Northeastern Philadelphia. Police claim they didn't learn about this incident in Parkwood area in the city until it was recorded and confirmed by employees at Jefferson Torresdale Hospital.

There are 2 scenes at this stage, the family vehicle that took the little girl to the hospital and a house on Secane Drive's 2900 block where the shooting was suspected by cops.

Investigators are checking the house for answers as the incident has more aspects about it.

Police report the young girl had relatives residing inside the house and officials say this is where the shooting took place.

Just before 11: 59 pm police were informed that her mother and uncle had brought the four-year-old survivor to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital. She sustained gut bullet wound.

Medical professionals could not save the child, and she was pronounced dead at 12:13 a.m.

Cops came to the house to figure out what had contributed to the fire.

THE 1ST PATIENTS WERE TAKEN TO THE LIACOURAS CENTER AT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, WHICH WAS TRANSFERRED TO A FIELD HOSPITAL DUE TO CORONA VIRUS CASES ARE INCREASING

The center is meant for people who have passed through the hardest phase of their condition and may not require ventilators, but will need oxygen anyway.

Patients will live up to 5 days and physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists are staffed at the hospital.

Health Commissioner said the facility is not a diagnostic location, & it is not an emergency department.

City officials have told five additional fatalities due to an outbreak in the city, so the total number would be three hundred and seventy.

Another 338 confirmed were reported, so the counts would be 9,552

Officials discuss strategies for reopening

Officials have said that the stay at home order will remain intact in Philadelphia.

Philly health commissioner dr. Thomas Farley stated that reopening will still take a lot of time while Gov. Tom wolf said that the area could be among the last to reopen.

Other states have designed a three phase reopening plan in place which is going to get execute from may 8th .

However yellow area are having increased freedom so steps are being made to make every area at least in the yellow zone.

The state and count official have decided some criteria after which an area can by called yellow zone.

1. If the rate of newly infected people is not more than 50 new cases each day for 1000 residents than officials can think of converting area into yellow zone.
2. There is lack of testing in the state due to which the actual number of patients do not get reported. Before reopening more testing iss necessary . according to analysis only 2% of Montogomery county residents have been tested so far
3. One of the factors before reopening to consider will be of stability of hospital system. As of now 40% intensive care beds and 70% of ventilators are available statewide
4. A major factor in deciding of reopening of state will be of contact tracing. Levine said that Pennsylvania is having limited health nurses to do contact tracing and they need more oerson to help in community tracing who can ask about there previous travel experience and interaction with other people.

Pennsylvania to open its liquor stores

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the liquor stores were not able to function; however, on Monday Pennsylvania Liquor control board has released a list of fine wine and good spirits stores offering curbside pickups. Three hundred ninety-eight state liquor stores will now provide curbside packing. The PLCB said that a total of 565 liquor stores throughout the keystone state would be offering their service.

Tim holden PLCB chairman said that they are making strides so that service could be expanded up to Fine wine and right spirits customers. He further noted that adding a hundred more locations will help them in overcoming the demand for wine and spirits.

Stores will be taking limited calls from 9:00 am by phone on the first call, a first-served basis. The state will continue to function until it reaches its limit of providing service on that particular day of the week. A caller can make an order for not more than six bottles per day per store; therefore, the curbside pickup will be limited. The PLCB said that the Staff of every store would first make the caller go through the products present in the stores, and after that, payment will be made on the phone. Holden said that since last week Pennsylvanians were frustrated from limited signal and access to wine and spirits, and from experience, they have decided to process orders faster and provide flexibility in scheduling pickups.

Transit work action cancelled for Thursday

It was announced on Wednesday by SEPTA that the planned work action on Thursday could be canceled, also warned the riders about a possible suspension of activities due to labor action by the largest union of transit agency employees. The workers of transportation from union local 234 who have still been working on buses, trains amidst the pandemic spoke out their grievances regarding SEPTA's leadership amidst the current situation. The president of TWU local 234 Brown mentioned it in his recently uploaded youtube video that if it comes to the matter of working without necessary precautions against the virus and their workers' safety, they would only choose the latter and blamed SEPTA for not hearing them out. A TWU spokesperson wrote that they met with Mayor Kenney along with SEPTA along with the leadership of the union, and he conveyed his sympathy to both their needs as well as those that need our services. He asked them to cancel their actions for Thursday and give him a few days to work

on improving the standards of work, which would be acceptable for the workers. He also mentioned that the union would take action shortly in case of no improvement.

AUSTIN POLICEMEN ARE HELPING IN DELIVERING MEAL TO ELDERLY AND DISABLE PEOPLE

On Fri, Central Texas Meals on Wheels provided food to seniors.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 disease outbreak, Meals on Wheels has moved from the regular meal delivery to distributions every 2 weeks now.

Any single Fri meals on Wheels provide meals worth 2 weeks.

Austin's officers are standing in and distributing food for Meals on Wheels who are short of volunteers.

"Now, on this side of town, we have 5 to 6 policemen doing rounds," Corporal Timothy Price told the local news channel. "I think for the moment they will continue running short. If we can, we'll also assist. "Officers always use the chance to create constructive connections with society.

Food on Wheels is a community-based group that offers food for elderly people and disabled persons in order to preserve their independence.

They need help right now. If you would like to help out, please visit their online site.

A MAN DEVELOPED A MOBILE APP TO HELP UNDERPRIVILEGED AUSTIN CITIZENS TO LOCATE THOSE WHO CAN SUPPORT THEM

The COVID-19 Donation Mapping application was created almost a month ago by Piero Preto. It will link persons who could support with others who need aid during the corona virus disaster.

"It asks for your postal code and it informs you all the donors and all the support services in your area out there," said Preto.

"It's really site-driven. We want people to find support quickly.

Pretto is part of the United States Code. He said the company is creating applications for charities and other groups that are trying to support citizens on a very daily basis. He'd built it in fewer than Twenty hours, according to Preto.

The application depends on users to post what they want, or what they need, for help.

"If you only want to make people aware of the need for masks or the role of your company in providing bill assistance, then I think our software is well-equipped to do that," Preto said. "The Facebook group is an outstanding platform for very niche purposes."

Earlier in March, Preto joined the FB group "COVID-19 COMMUNITY ASSIST-AUSTIN, TX". And he saw there that some users are asking for help and others are posting what they are giving so he wanted to put it all in visual graphics.

"A number of individuals are going out now and wanting to reach down there to contribute back to their neighbors and society out there," Preto said. "There are numerous people underprivileged right now."

26 de abril de 2020 (10:29 CET) Sara Carbonero ha encontrado en su Instagram una de las mejores maneras de comunicarse con sus seguidores. Si bien es cierto que la mujer de IkerCasillas no es que sea precisamente de las it girls españolas mas prolíficas, sí que mantiene una cierta regularidad. Lo que sí que hace que, según los expertos, el Instagram de Carbonero sea uno de los mejor valorados es que Sara suele ser muy variada en cuanto a sus publicaciones. Pese a que todas tienen un mismo tono en cuanto a la imagen y el color, los temas de sus publicaciones siempre varían. “Intuyo que estamos pasando por todos los estados posibles estos días; desde el asombro a la esperanza y de la emoción al miedo, pero es que yo no quiero dejar de soñar, no quiero. Sé que debo priorizar necesidades y es exactamente lo que estamos haciendo, pero me ha costado una vida saber qué es lo importante como para mirar ahora hacia otro lado. Sé que el mundo se cae a pedazos pero es que yo no quiero reinventarme, volverme budista ni comprar aguacates ecológicos; no quiero hacer pan, memorizar asanas ni ser mejor que nadie —quiero comer cecina, coleccionar museos, soñar con Menorca y llenar los mapas de chinchetas; levantar la copa, brindar por los sueños imposibles y seguir pensando (ya lo hacía antes) que la vida es la piel erizada, nada más” . Una vez más, texto inspirador de @nadaimporta . (Ojalá ahí, ahora, ese viaje, en esa casa en el campo con los amigos, despeinada y sin poder abrir los ojos por el sol) . #yoyalosabía #20deabril #yaquedamenos #actitudpositiva #aporlasemana #slowlife Una publicación compartida de Sara Carbonero (@saracarbonero) el 20 Abr, 2020 a las 11:36 PDT En especial desde que hace unos meses comunicara que le habían extirpado un tumor del ovario. Antes de la mala noticia, Sara solía centrar buena parte de sus publicaciones en sus posados con modelitos o con complementos, así como su día a día o sus escapadas con amigos. La foto de Sara Carbonero Y es que, por mucho que la lectura y el periodismo sean dos de sus principales pasiones, la moda siempre ha ocupado un lugar destacado en sus gustos. Y ahora lo ha vuelto a demostrar colgando una foto en su Instagram que no ha pasado precisamente desapercibida. Una imagen en la que vemos la portada de un libro de fotografías en la que aparece ni más ni menos que la modelo KateMoss sin nada de ropa. Una de las fotos más icónicas de la modelo británica y que ya forma parte de la historia también de la fotografía de retrato. Y claro, teniendo en cuenta quien es y la “belleza” de la foto, los likes y los comentarios no han hecho otra cosa que dispararse. Son más de 20.000 en apenas unas horas. Por lo que se refiere a los comentarios, si bien algunos han asegurado que Moss “no es un ejemplo a seguir”, la gran mayoría han preferido quedarse con la belleza de la foto en sí con comentarios como “brutal”, “Que foto tan bonita Sara” o “Es bella, pero tú eres más guapa Sara”.

Mener elever med innvandrerforeldre må lære opp foreldrene i smittevern - NRK

Oslo Høyre mener barn må bli «smittevernambassadører» for å unngå at skolestarten fører til økt smittespredning. – Jeg vet ikke hvor lurt det er å gjøre covid-19 til et nytt fag, svarer skolebyråd Inga Marte Thorkildsen.

Denne artikkelen er over en måned gammel, og kan inneholde utdaterte råd fra myndighetene angående koronasmitten. Hold deg oppdatert i NRKs oversikt, eller gjennom FHIs nettsider. Mandag åpner skolene for barn i 1. til 4. trinn i barneskolen, i tillegg til skolefritidsordningen. I Oslo alene skal om lag 25.000 barn tilbake på skolen, etter å ha vært borte i over én måned. I hovedstaden er det bydeler med høy innvandrerandel, som Alna og Stovner, som hadde flest nye smittetilfeller i april, ifølge statistikkdatabanken MSIS.

Foto: Sturlason / Oslo kommune Nå vil Oslo Høyre bruke elevene som smittevernambassadører for å unngå en ny bølge av smittespredning i forbindelse med skolestarten. «Vi har ingen tid å miste. God smitteverninformasjon må inn i skolene», skriver Rune Dahl i Oslo Høyres bystyregruppe i en e-post. Skolepolitisk talsperson for Oslo Høyre, Silje Lutro, sier en tredel av befolkningen i Oslo har et annet morsmål enn norsk, men at alle barn går på skolen. Lutro foreslår at elevene kan regne på smittetall eller finne informasjon om smittevern på fremmedspråk. Alle barn kan være smittevernsambassadører inn i sin familie, om de tilhører minoritetsbefolkningen eller ikke. Men kanskje særlig der er det viktig, fordi det er ikke alle minoritetsforeldre som har mulighet til å gi barna forståelse for den spesielle situasjonen barna er i nå, sier Lutro. Mandag kan ballbingen ved Rommen skole i bydel Stovner igjen tas i bruk, så lenge elevene overholder smittevernenglene. Foto: Lise Åserud / NTB scanpix Må tenke nytt Stovner (23 prosent) og Alna (38 prosent) er også bydelene med lavest oppmøte da barnehagene åpnet igjen tidligere i uka, ifølge tall fra kommunen. Høyre viser til at barn i mange tilfeller snakker norsk bedre enn foreldre og besteforeldre. Lutro mener lærerne må få tilgang til et eget undervisningsopplegg om covid-19, slik at de slipper å bruke tid utenom undervisningen til å lese seg opp på smittevernråd. Når byråden har erkjent at man ikke har truffet med smitteverninformasjon til alle, så må man tenke nytt og smart, sier Lutro. Hun påpeker at barna ikke skal holdes ansvarlige for å lære opp foreldrene, men sier samtidig at «alle vet hvor flinke barn kan være til å stramme opp voksne som glemmer å kildesortere». Skolebyråden skeptisk Byrådsleder Raymond Johansen har allerede erkjent overfor VG at informasjonen om koronaviruset til fremmedspråklige i Oslo har vært for dårlig. Skolebyråd Inga Marte Thorkildsen (SV) er likevel skeptisk til forslaget fra Oslo Høyre. Byråd for oppvekst og kunnskap i Oslo kommune, Inga Marte Thorkildsen sier lærerne skal gi elevene opplæring i hvordan de skal oppføre seg i den nye situasjonen. Foto: Fredrik Hagen / NTB Scanpix Jeg vet ikke hvor lurt det er å gjøre covid-19 til et nytt fag på skolen, sier Thorkildsen. Hun påpeker at lærerne allerede skal gi elevene opplæring i hvordan de skal oppføre seg i den nye situasjonen, samtidig som behovet for trygghet ivaretas. Jeg tror skolene kan få mange gode råd fra elevene om hvordan smittevernet kan ivaretas. Lærerne gode til å formidle På spørsmål om smittevernråd kan bli pensum, svarer statsråd i Kunnskapsdepartementet Anja Johansen at smittevernråd allerede et tema i både nåværende og kommende læreplaner. Lærere er gode til å formidle og forklare, derfor er jeg trygg på at elevene kommer til å bli godt kjent med gode rutiner som reduserer smitte, sier Johansen. Hun viser også til at skoleveilederne gir gode råd, og at Utdanningsdirektoratet har laget en film kan brukes når de yngste elevene på skolen skal lære om smittevern. Anja Johansen er statssekretær i Kunnskapsdepartementet. NRK skrev tidligere i uken at denne animasjonsvideoen kun er dubbet til norsk av Utdanningsdirektoratet. NRK har imidlertid blitt kontaktet av barhehager som har laget egne versjoner, blant annet på arabisk. Johansen viser også til at det er satt av penger til frivillige organisasjoner som skal hjelpe til med å nå ut til hele befolkningen, og at det er laget skriftlig informasjon til foreldre på 15 språk. Vi skal fortsette å strekke oss langt, og tilbakemeldingene vi får fra innvandrerorganisasjonene vil være viktig i dugnaden mot koronaviruset, sier statssekretæren. Statsminister Erna Solberg holdt 15. april en egen pressekonferanse der hun svarte på barnas spørsmål om skolestart. Bekymret for elevenes mentale helse Redd Barna mener det er vel og bra at det er laget veiledere for smittevern, men er bekymret for om skolene er godt nok forberedt på å ivareta elevenes psykososiale helse. Alle barn har nå vært gjennom en annerledes periode, og mange kan ha vært redde eller ensomme av ulike grunner. Derfor er det ekstra viktig at skolene forberedes på hvordan barna skal følges opp, sier Thale Skybak, seksjonsleder i Redd Barnas norgesprogram. Redd Barna har derfor foreslått at det utarbeides en egen veileder for å ivareta elevene psykososialt. Statssekretær Johansen sier det er lagt ned mye arbeid for å sikre at elevene skal ha et trygt skolemiljø, i tråd med Opplæringsloven. Kunnskapsdepartementet har ingen planer om en egen veileder for psykososial oppfølging for resten av skoleåret. Statssekretær Johansen legger til at temaet folkehelse og livsmestring, som innføres i august, skal fremme elevenes psykiske og fysiske helse. Mandag åpner skolene for de minste, etter å ha vært stengt siden midten av mars på grunn av Korona-pandemien. Her fra skolegården til Kjelsås skole i Oslo. Foto: Erik Johansen / NTB scanpix
